Trending Tuesday: Smoothies

Hey y'all! Ashley here today. I hope everyone had a happy Memorial Day and long weekend, spent with loved ones. I know I sure did. After surprise birthday dinners, wedding showers and grilling out with good friends, I am definitely not ready to be back at work today!

As promised, I am bringing you some fabulous smoothie recipes today! Smoothies have been trending recently, and I have definitely jumped on the band wagon. Here are some of my favorites that I have been enjoying recently. I have to first thank my mom for giving me the Nutri Bullet! Don't worry, if you don't have a bullet, any blender or food processor will work. Enjoy!

1/8 tsp peppermint extract (or if you're like me, add a bit more for the extra minty flavor)

Toppings:

1 tbsp walnuts

1 tbsp dark chocolate chips

Instructions:

Combine all of the ingredients beginning with the spinach and ending with the peppermint extract. Blend until smooth. Transfer to a cold glass, then add the toppings.
